The funeral of Tip" Shear, who died
at the home of dissOlute female, Mrs.
Hsr1esty, OIL South BOckius street, was q
peculiar one. Shear, who was q well
known character about the city
and no better than the woman with
whom he resided, became q township
charge after his death and Messrs.
ROckhill q Burwell were ordered to
inter the remains In the P0tter's field by
Trustee Trout. The friends of Tip"
demonstrated and wanted better

upon payment Of $l6 This the friends
of Shear could not raise and Saturday
afternoon. upon advice Of Shears par
ents, the remains were taken to the
Pottsr's field. Sexton Archer was not
present when the corpse arrived and no
grave had been dug. The remains were
placed above ground in the field and the
sections family notified. When Mr..
Archer arrived home he inferred the re-
mains. In the meantime Mrs. Hardesty
had trsmped to the cemetery and saw
the remains of her beloved "Tip" lying
upon the surface of the ground instead
of under. She set up big hue and
cry and sounded an alarm among
"Tip's" friends, which brought the lat
ter In swarm upon the undertakers,
who explained the circumstances Of the
case.
Township funerals are conducted at
the lowest possible expense and no
gsudy trjmpiDgs are attached. Had
the friends Of the deceased either raised
the money or kept away entirely the
remains would have been promptly and
properly buried without the least hitch.

is Republican by four majority and the
House Democratic by 13. Considering
that In the last legislature the Rel ubli-

and 81 In the House, or, on joint ballot
a majority of S0 or nearly seven to one,
the completeness Of the revolution
against the Republican machine Is seen
to be simply amazing.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY I'll. . NtH12NC's
 WHEREAS, It has come to olF knowi- edge that our beloved pastor. -9eT' 4'' W. Calfee-wh has faithfully pr each ed the Gospel to us, performed ,7Rf marriage ceremonies, chr1stened OUT children and buried our loved ones has been notified by letter from the presiding Bishop of the Colorado Con- ference that his services III Arizona will probably not be required after July 18th, and whereas, the petition of the Board of Trustees to the Rev. Bishop, in reference to the matter un- der. consideration, has been read to us: Therefore, be it resolved.
 I. That we being personally and, as a society and community, mutually interested in the case, do hereby pro- test against MT. Calfee's removal from this place where he has labored so earnestly, faithfully and devotedly tor the cause of christianity.
 H. That having known him per sonally for six years, we have conf- dence iu his integrity, ability and sin cerity as a christian minister.
 III. That we heartily approve the petition of and join with the Board of Trustees in their request that Mir. Calfee may be permitted to retain his position as pastor of St. Paul Metho- dist Episcopal Church in Globe.
 ". That a copy of these resOlu- tions be forwarded by the secretary of this meeting to Bishop J M- Walden fer his information, and to the Metho- dist Conference to be held at Tucson, A. T., as to the standing and estima- tion in which Mr. Calfee and his fami- ly are jointly held in the community in which they live. -

The few persons inclined to ques- tiOn the propriety Of MT. Calfee ab- Senting himself from the. citizens meeting in the M. E. Church, called to consider the Bishops notification to Mir. Ualfee to report to the Colorado Conference, did not take into .consid- eration the deiicacy of his position. MT Calfee felt that his presence might be detrimental to a free expression Of opinion of the people concerning the question under discussion, and, there fore, his presence was not urged.

The music, rendered by Profs. Aeschlimann and Arvizu, was excel lent. Cooling refreshments were served in the hall and supper of more sub stahtial kind at the Pascoe restaurant. The event will be pleasantly remem- bered for some time to come.

IMPORTANT ACTION

A meeting at the NJ. E. Church, on Tuesday evening last, to take action on the letter of Bishop Walden, re- calling Rev. D. w. Calico from his present field of labor, was largely at- tended by members of the congrega- tion and other citizens interested in the welfare of the Globe church.
 The meeting was called to order and Or. Alex. Trippel placed in the chair, and E. H. Cook nominated as Secre- tary.
 The recall of Rev. D. W. Calfee was then read. The resolutions protest ing against the recall, prepared by the Trustees, were also read. A reso- lution to the same polnt. was present ed by A. H. Hackney, and on vote for a general circulation of same for sig natures was unanimously carried, and the resolutions received 1855 names. On motion the chair appointed Messrs. B. J. McGinnis and Alex. Graydon, and (by request of the meet ing) Dr. Alex. Trippel committee to prepare and forward to Bishop J. M. Walden letter protesting against the change In this pastorate.

My address will be Cincinnati, Ohio, until July 5th. Yours truly,

1NrNENIMors ENpoRssMENr

The order of the recall of Rev. D.
 W. Calfee, by Bishop J. M. Walden,
 was net matter of surprise to those
 having a knowledge of the threats and
 influence at work to accomplish that
 end; and it was only necessary for the
 receipt of the order becoming gsaer-
 ally known to create blaze of indig-
 nation against the supposed inform ant
 of the Bishop, which immediately cul-
 minated in the vigorous acton of the
 Trustees of the church iagalnst the
 consummation of the order of removal.
 And for the approval of the manly action of the Trustees a call was print ed and circulated for a meeting of cit zens, interested in the welfare of the M. E. Church in Globe, which was largely responded to by the best cit izens of Gila county. ..+
 The protest of the Trustees and the action of the citizens meeting is print ed elsewhere in this issue of the BELT. Nor was this all; ;; petition of the same tenor as the Trustees protest was, by order of the citizens meeting, drawn up and left at the post office, which, in a few hours, received 1855 signatures, and had time permitted, it would have had appended the name of nearly every pers4n in Globe. The sentiment here IS that our preachers, under present management, are only pawns upon the clerlcal chess board, to be r1oved at the option of the play CT, independent of the good of the church or the wishes of this commu- nity, and if a change in the polity of the church organization here is not made, the doors of the Globe church might as well be permanently closed to the public.
 The Globe church was dedicated Nov. 7th, 1880, since which time the pulpit has been occupled by Reverends J. J. Wingar, E. H. Brooks, David W. | Calfee, William George, F. W. John son and J. Pierce, none of whom served year with the exception of MT. calfee who, upon his first term acceptably ministered to tHe attend ants of St. Paul Il. E. Church, in | Globe, from October 1881 to Decem- ber 1883, when he was removed to Pinal, thence to Phoenix, and from Ph@nix to Globe, September 27th, 1886, where he was at the time of the receipt of the Bishops notice to report 0 the Colorado Conference; and hay ng aggregated residence of thirty our months, or nearly three years, as. minister in Globe without raproach, t is, therefore, not surprising that should be outspoken in their of the means which must have been resorted to to effect lis removal.
